Alongside Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s appearances as the iterations of Spider-Man in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, even Tom Hardy’s Venom got an MCU cameo in Jon Watts’ blockbuster. Thereafter, speculations of a fight between Garfield’s Spider-Man and Hardy’s Venom sparked online, which was believed to be the storyline for a potential The Amazing Spider-Man 3.
However, while Andrew Garfield was haunted by questions about the possibility of Spider-Man vs Venom, months leading to Spider-Man: No Way Home’s release, no updates or confirmations were offered. But recently, after months of radio silence over the Spider-Man vs Venom project, Garfield and Tom Hardy appear to join forces for an exciting project, to fans’ dismay.
Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man vs Tom Hardy’s Venom
After taking on the role of Marvel’s Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, Andrew Garfield reprised his role once again for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Joining forces with Tobey Maguire in Jon Watts’ blockbuster, Garfield seemingly made way for a potential Spider-Man vs Venom project, following a cameo from Tom Hardy’s Venom, before the credits rolled in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Therefore, apart from helping Tom Holland‘s version of Spider-Man fight the interdimensional villains in the movie, Andrew Garfield effectively laid the foundations for a potential combat with Eddie Brock. Ever since the release of No Way Home, rumors began plaguing the internet about the possibility of potential Amazing Spider-Man 3. Although the movie was previously canceled, there appeared a renewed interest surrounding the project.
As Tobey Maguire previously fought Topher Grace’s Venom in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, fans began seeking Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man to fight Tom Hardy’s Venom in a potential Amazing Spider-Man 3 movie. Haunting the actor with questions surrounding the possibility of the movie, fans even started bugging Sony for the same. Although Garfield previously claimed to be open about the possibility of fighting Hardy’s Venom, Sony and Marvel are yet to confirm the project.
Andrew Garfield and Tom Hardy Join Forces for 1984 Audio Drama
Meanwhile, as fans have been eagerly waiting to see Andrew Garfield and Tom Hardy join forces for a potential Spider-Man vs Venom project, they were met with disappointment, as Empire magazine announced something completely different. To fans’ dismay, Garfield and Hardy are set to collaborate for George Orwell’s dystopian classic 1984. Offering their impeccable voice, the duo has been cast for Audible’s new audio drama.
Playing the role of Winston Smith, Andrew Garfield’s project is set to narrate the tale of how his character navigates the repressive society governed by Big Brother. With Cynthia Erivo appearing as Winston’s romantic counterpart Julia, Tom Hardy is set for the terrifying voice of Big Brother. The drama is set to arrive on Audible on 4 April 2024, precisely four decades after Winston’s first diary entry in George Orwell’s original novel.

Once upon a time Venom was supposed to be a spin off of the amazing Spider-Man movies and the first one matched the tone of the two. So here’s the closest we will get to that crossover
